Description
We are Two Circles. We are a Sports & Entertainment Marketing business. We grow audiences and revenues. We do that by knowing fans best. We work with clients to help them understand & influence what their fans are doing – the way fans spend their money, the events that fans attend, the channels fans respond to, the content fans watch and more. And we use the understanding this gives us to help our clients grow. Grow their audiences and grow their revenues - both direct to consumer and business to business revenues. Our platforms and services are trusted by over 1000 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon. We are over 1000 people, based out of 15 offices, and we deliver work for sports and entertainment businesses of all shapes and sizes all over the world.
The Role
This role sits within the Two Circles North America Studio, reporting to the Lead Graphic Designer, and working alongside a multi-disciplinary team of creatives, strategists, and marketers.

We emphasize collaboration, speed, creativity, and precision — delivering high-quality work at the pace of the sports world.
We’re seeking a Graphic Designer with a sports-first mindset — someone who lives and breathes the energy, aesthetics, and storytelling of sport. You’ll create visuals that connect with fans and elevate the brands of some of the most iconic organizations in global sport. If you can illustrate or support brand development, that’s a huge plus.
This isn’t just about clean layouts — it’s about capturing emotion, momentum, and impact. You’ll know what looks current in the sports landscape, from bold social graphics and key art to large-scale campaigns and presentation decks.
About You
The ideal candidate is a sports fanatic with a detailed eye for brand, design, and storytelling. You’re a fast, high-quality designer who can thrive in a quick-turnaround environment while maintaining top-tier visual standards. You’ll be comfortable taking a brand’s visual identity and pushing it forward — and just as confident responding to live sports moments with fresh, reactive creative.
